Sylvie Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I want to order Cucumber Chaos from Candle Cocoon, so I'd like to try some other oils to fill out the order. Is their Cranberry Compote a good cranberry scent? Has anyone tried the new 'Melon, Fig and Apricot'? I haven't seen any reveiws for it. Thanks for any help!

marcuset Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The Cranberry Compote is a superb cranberry scent. One of my favorites. The other two scents - haven't tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorseScentS Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Are their FOs really as strong & concentrated as they say on this page?: http://candlecocoon.com/products.asp It seems many suppliers claim that you can use less of their oils because they're stronger than everybody elses, but I don't know... Can you tell me how much stronger, if at all, the Candle Cocoon FOs would be than the strongest 3 leaf Candle Science FOs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsbennis Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I haven't tried the cranberry compote but I do love the Cranberry Cardamon & Clove, I also love Fairy Dust & Twinkle Toes, Sultry Angel and Coconut Macaroon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Agreed...Cranberry Cardamom & Clove is wonderful too. As far as strength, Lyschel gives you a recommendation on the bottle how much to use for your application (or email her - she's great with customer service, excellent imo) - she knows her stuff. They are indeed super concentrated. Just give them a try - you really won't know until you try a small order for yourself - I don't think you will be disappointed.

Camay Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I agree - the scents are super concentrated. I haven't used the ones you are interested in but I have tried several others from there. Very Strong! When Lyschel says to only use 0.5 oz/pound wax, she means it! Edited July 15, 2011 by Camay spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWV Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I like the cranberry compote but LOVED the cranberry cardamon & clove. I also like the cucumber chaos, orange tea & crumpets, coconut macaroon, and winter woodlands whisper. All the scents I've tried from CC are very strong.

jeanie353 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I agree that CC scents are concentrated and less is needed. With the super concentrates I only use .5 oz pp getting a strong throw both hot & cold in my CBL130. I have not been disappointed with any of her oils, order frequently and have tried all but 3-4. That being said, I also use CS, Peak and some of Bert's fragrances to fill in my line and of course always trying new ones. I would not hesitate to recommend any of CC oils.

megandgarr Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I really like their Ooey Gooey Caramel. I use that in my caramel apple crunch and it is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyty72 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Lovely lilac ( it is not a real sweet lilac) is super strong, only need 3/4 of an ounce per lb and still it is strong. Her mango smell so good, I am still testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favs are sultry angel, raspberry cordial, cucumber melon, ginger peach, serendipity, vanilla voodoo.I hardly ever see anyone mention her Ginger Peach; it's one of my favorites, too. It had a great throw in paraffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 CC Lovely Lilac is the bomb....and I think the only one I really had to wick way up....most others wicked for me within a size or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yes, Ginger Peach is wonderful...has more bite than most others versions. Vanilla Voodoo, Serendipity, Winter Wonderland, Raspberry Cordial...wonderful...even the Eucalyptus (although I'm not big on Eucy scents...but it is great).
